Albrecht Dürer: Master Drawings, Watercolors, and Prints from the Albertina

In the June 20 issue, Andrew Butterfield writes, “The show is composed almost entirely of works on loan—more than ninety drawings and watercolors and some twenty prints—from the Albertina Museum in Vienna, whose collection of art by Dürer is the finest in the world. These works are superb in quality and condition and most have an unbroken chain of provenance going directly back to the artist himself. They have been supplemented by additional items from the National Gallery’s own excellent collection of works by the artist. The result is the most comprehensive and revelatory show about Dürer to be held in America in over forty years.”

The National Gallery is open between 10 am and 5 pm Monday through Saturday and 11 am and 6 pm on Saturday. For more information, click here.
